Sections including Page X of Y

[APL]

Please tell me...In Word 2003 is there a way to have a document that has
multiple sections with each section having its own "Page X of Y"? I know how
to restart X but cannot figure out how to recalculate Y.

The Y part is a {NUMPAGES} field, which displays the total number of pages
in the document. Replace that with a {SECTIONPAGES} field.
